All winners took home NZ$7,000 for their impressivefinal performances.<\/p>\n

With her tenth contest win in a row, Kelly was stoked to keep the streak going, \u201cIt was a really great day,\u201d said Kelly. \u201cThe level of riding from the women was amazing. I am happy to be a part of the progression of the sport and happy to come out on top.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first halfpipe competition of the season set a new standard of riding for the women as three of the most progressive female riders in the world took the top three spots on the podium. Coming in first was Kelly Clark (USA) with a Frontside 720, Cab 720, Backside 540 and Frontside Cork 900. Finishing close behind was Hannah Teter (USA) in second place, getting impressive height with a Method Air, Frontside 900 Lien, Backside 540, Frontside 540 and Cab 360.

Ryo Aono\u2019s first place run proved that practice does make perfect, \u201cI have competed three or four times before with not the best results and am very happy to be on the podium this time around,\u201d said Ryo. \u201cDuring practice, I worked on a special run that I ended up hitting perfectly in competition. I am very happy!\u201d<\/p>\n

Jamie Anderson (USA) won the Slopestyle CUOS with a half-Cab 5-0 to Backside 180 while Stale Sandbech (NOR) won on the men\u2019s side as he took creativity to a whole new level with his winning trick, a Front Board to Backside 450 on the Cannon Rail.
